Books VS Internet

e.Encyclopedia

As you could read in my bio, I've been doing book sales since 1990. During this time the trends in the publishing industry have been changing from year to year. At the end of the '90 the belief that internet will supplant books prevailed, although that has not happened. But it is true, that the sales of generic encyclopedias have decreased for a small percentage.

Lately I have been noticing that the interest for different encyclopedias has increased again. This is due to the fact that the Internet offers a variety of different web sites, their main interest is not the user information they give pleasure, but to make money with advertising.

So, to counter what the users?

Try to imagine your 10-year-old child, the Internet has a new mission to find the information for his project on the brain. If, for example in Google the word "brain", the first "150" represent the various hits "thesis" with a salary that ishas to do with anything, with the theme of your child, the child is interested in. Until such information, precious time can be lost much.

Some time ago a joint project of Google as the biggest "search engine" and Dorling Kindersley started as one of the largest publishers in the world. It was called "E-encyclopedia".
E-encyclopaedia means, you have extremely attractive and encyclopedia with images on the one hand and on the other hand, a "search engine" thatincludes more than 1,000 different Web sites. In other words, this means that everything is contained in a book to find on the Internet and will be.

My opinion is that books have several advantages over Internet. Internet is the "jungle" and if you are not skilled with Internet connection, you can have a lot of problems to the right information you want to find.
